I'm very curious about the multiplayer... How will they get it in there without compromising story? Will they have like a Monster Hunter-esque "guild hall" where you can meet up with people before going adventuring together? Will you be playing through the story together, kinda like Secret of Mana?
Will it be an open world multiplayer with instance-like story sections where you can't bring friends?
If so, what about the other party memebers? Will they be controlled by the other players or do they just disappear while you're playing with friends?

Online only missions, huh? So, kinda like Monster Hunter then. I could see that. I wonder if the entire world will be open to you or if you'll be restricted to certain areas during multiplayer... Mind you, the areas are still enormous, but still.

Will you be playing through the story together, kinda like Secret of Mana?

this would be the best idea

Beyond Good and Evil 2 better be happening! In the meanwhile though, here's a fun little Let's Play of the original. Think you'll like the game if you like Zelda!LeT's PlAy BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL < Link to LP

Yeah, it would be pretty awesome. You could go through the story and all the wow-moments it'll undoubtedly have together with a friend.
As long as they still make everything accessible in singleplayer as well.
And they'd be stupid not to incorporate voice chat in a game like that.

What exactly is this game about? I'm not very familiar with it, but it sounds pretty badass, som I'm interested to know.

the actual story premise is relatively unknown right now, but gameplay-wise it's about exploring a huge open world and battling various monsters in MMO meets JRPG battles and sometimes you can go into a huge mech to do so. And presumably doing addicting side quests in-between engaging story progress.

I wonder how big of a deal air mech battles will be? I mean, they can fly and there's an indicator on screen that tells you what your vertical (as well as horizontal) position relative to the enemy is. It just makes me kinda curious. And in the end of the second trailer, you can see enemies flying high up in the sky. You'd never reach them on foot unless they came down for you.

It will probably be similar to Xenoblade where there were enemies flying and just by engaging with them they came down to you.

To blessed to be stressed.
80's music makes me feel fabulous.

Well in Xenoblade if an enemy was too far away to even see you (or wasn't the type of enemy to attack on sight) you would have to attack it first to get its attention (usually with Sharla).

Yes, but these enemies look REALLY high up? I doubt you could attack them even if you tried. Unless you got up on one of those tall rock structures that can be seen several times in the first two trailers.

I always just kind of expected them to be in there.
Might be wrong though.
And yes, Maelstrom, the mechs do fly around in the trailer. That's actually one of the aspects of the game that I'm the most excited for so far.

Yeah, it seems like those are specifically made to be fought with mechs. I'm assuming that maybe even the range is more limited (because Sharla had some crazy range IIRC) for gun weapons so that the mechs get more use. Though so far mechs are clearly the best option regardless.
